Environmental Protection

Packaging materials are recyclable. Dispose of packaging in an environmentally friendly manner. Electrical and electronic equipment often contain components that can be hazardous to people and the environment if handled or disposed of improperly. Dispose of old devices according to environmental protection regulations. Cleaning work that produces wastewater containing oil, such as engine cleaning or underbody washing, must only be carried out at cleaning facilities with an oil separator.

Operation

High-Pressure Operation:

CAUTION: When cleaning lacquered surfaces, maintain a distance of 30 cm from the nozzle to the surface to avoid damaging the lacquer.
NOTICE: Do not clean car tires, paintwork, or sensitive surfaces (e.g., wood) with the dirt blaster. There is a risk of damage.
Insert the Multi Jet 3-in-1 spray lance into the high-pressure trigger gun and lock it by turning 90° (observe orientation!).
Select the spray jet by turning the Multi Jet 3-in-1 spray lance until the required spray indication appears at the top.
Switch on the unit ('I/ON').
Unlock the high-pressure trigger gun lever.
Press the high-pressure trigger gun lever to start operation. Releasing the lever will switch off the unit; the high pressure remains in the system.

Operation with Detergent:

Most Kärcher detergents can be used directly from the Plug 'n' Clean detergent bottle.
DANGER: When using cleaning agents, observe the manufacturer's safety data sheet requirements, especially regarding the use of personal protective equipment.
NOTICE: Detergent can only be added at low pressure.
Remove the cap from the Plug 'n' Clean detergent bottle.

Purge the unit of air before starting operation. Switch on the unit without the high-pressure hose attached and let it run (max. 2 minutes) until water emerges from the gun without air bubbles. Switch off the unit and reconnect the high-pressure hose.

Strong pressure fluctuations:

Clean the high-pressure nozzle: Remove dirt from the nozzle opening with a needle and rinse with water from the front.
Check the water supply quantity.

Unit is leaking:

Minor leaks due to the design of the unit. For significant leaks, contact authorized service personnel.

Detergent is not being sucked in:

Set the Multi Jet 3-in-1 spray lance to the 'MIX' setting on the detergent nozzle.
Check if the opened Plug 'n' Clean detergent bottle is inserted correctly into the detergent connection.

No pressure indication on the high-pressure trigger gun:

Check/replace batteries.
Reduce the distance between the high-pressure trigger gun and the high-pressure washer.
Repeat the connection process with the high-pressure washer.

Fault message:

Switch off the unit and pull the mains plug. Wait 20 seconds, then reinsert the plug and switch on the unit. If the fault persists, have the unit checked by service personnel.

Emergency Operation Mode:

If the pressure regulation function on the high-pressure trigger gun is impaired (e.g., electronics fault, discharged battery), the high-pressure washer operates at the last set level. To switch from emergency mode to the maximum level: Switch off the unit, pull the mains plug, reinsert the plug after 20 seconds, and switch on the unit.
